I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

I am no longer needed.
I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!
I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge to work for you!
Four years of medical school meant Richard couldn't escape quantitative reasoning — dosage calculations, biostatistics, interpreting clinical data — all under the kind of exam pressure that mirrors a timed SAT. He channels that into SAT Math prep by teaching students to work through the section's ratio, percentage, and data-table questions with the same systematic precision a clinician uses to avoid costly errors. His biochemistry degree ensures the algebra and problem-solving fundamentals are second nature.
I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!
John's approach to SAT Math zeroes in on the difference between knowing algebra and knowing how the SAT tests algebra — things like rewriting equations to match answer choices or catching unit conversion traps in word problems. With a 1420 SAT and deep experience across calculus, geometry, and college algebra, he connects each practice problem to the specific concept being tested so students build real recognition, not just test-day luck.
I am currently a resident physician at Northwestern Hospital.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
Elena scored a 1600 on the SAT and treats the math section as a strategic exercise, not just a math test. She teaches students to recognize which problems reward algebraic setup versus back-solving or plugging in, then builds that decision-making instinct through timed practice where she listens to their reasoning in real time and flags inefficient habits.
Scoring a 1590 SAT means Anna has already dissected every question type the Math section throws at students — from no-calculator algebra and systems of equations to data analysis and passport-to-advanced-math problems involving polynomials and exponentials. She teaches efficient strategies for avoiding trap answers and managing pacing across both calculator and no-calculator modules.
Medical school at Baylor means Michelle solves quantitative problems under brutal time constraints every day — and her 1570 SAT proves she's already mastered doing exactly that on the test her students are preparing for. She zeroes in on the algebraic modeling and geometry questions where a biochemistry background actually helps, teaching students to treat each problem like a lab setup: identify the variables, find the relationship, then solve cleanly without second-guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see gains of 50-150 points with focused preparation. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's algebra, geometry, or test-taking strategy—and targeting those through consistent practice. A tutor can help you pinpoint gaps and develop a personalized study plan that maximizes your improvement timeline.
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges students face, since you have about 1.4 minutes per question on average. Expert tutors teach you to prioritize easier problems first, skip strategically, and use process-of-elimination on harder questions rather than getting stuck. Practice tests are essential—they help you build speed while maintaining accuracy, and tutors can review your test performance to identify where you're losing time.
Louisville students typically struggle with algebra (especially multi-step equations and systems), word problems, and geometry/trigonometry concepts. Many students also struggle with the calculator-free section or misunderstand how to approach grid-in questions. A tutor can diagnose your specific challenges through diagnostic testing and focus your study time on the areas that will have the biggest impact on your score.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to understand your current skills, identify knowledge gaps, and determine your target score. The tutor will review your results, discuss your timeline and goals, and create a customized study plan that focuses on high-impact topics. This foundation helps ensure every session afterward is efficient and directly supports your score improvement.
Practice tests are critical—they build familiarity with question formats, help you develop realistic pacing, and reveal patterns in your mistakes. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions mimics test day and reduces anxiety. Tutors use your practice test results to guide instruction, so you're not just practicing blindly but learning from every mistake you make.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure about your approach to problems. Working with a tutor builds confidence through targeted skill-building, familiarity with question types, and proven strategies for staying calm under pressure. Tutors also teach you how to manage your mindset during the test—knowing when to move on, how to breathe through tough moments, and trusting your preparation.
Most students benefit from 3-5 hours of focused study per week over 8-12 weeks, though your timeline depends on your starting score and target. Quality matters more than quantity—consistent, targeted practice beats cramming. A tutor helps you use your study time efficiently by prioritizing the topics and strategies that will move your score the most.
